Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Lobtsov is a senior backend engineer and tech lead with 14 years of experience building high-throughput web platforms and monetization services, currently focusing on Go at AVITO.ru. He transitioned from a long PHP background into Go-driven microservices, moving heavy logic out of monoliths into 50+ RPC handlers and Kafka consumers while managing teams of up to 20 engineers. Known for turning underperforming services into production systems handling ~100k RPM and for a 12x speedup in push delivery at Lamoda, he pairs hands-on refactoring with operational ownership. He has led end-to-end projects from MVP to commercial launch, implemented zero-fault and DDoS-resistant architectures, and introduced scalable DB partitioning and CI practices. A frequent internal mentor and community contributor, he’s recognized for voluntary contributions to company Go communities and for hiring and process-building across multiple organizations. Based in Moscow, he blends pragmatic engineering, people leadership, and a knack for rescuing critical systems under tight timelines.
